In brief:
If

If the medication is treating other symptoms effectively, and you are experiencing some itching that is tolerable, then it should be ok.

Nevertheless, itching is a sign of an allergic reaction. It is prudent to let your doctor know that this medication is causing an itch. Also look for other signs of allergic reaction such as hives, rash, swelling of the mouth and throat and redness. Let your doctor know about the itching, as he/she can prescribe something to remedy that.
